Program Established to Help Address Hunger and Isolation Amongst Homebound Seniors Post-Pandemic
BLOOMFIELD, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2021 / Reverse Mortgage Funding LLC (RMF) is proud to announce its commitment to Meals on Wheels America's newly established Momentum Circle. As a donor, RMF will engage in strengthening the Meals on Wheels network and provide financial support to help homebound seniors at-risk to food insecurity and isolation. RMF is proud to join forces with Meals on Wheels America and other leading organizations to support our nation's vulnerable seniors.
Donors to the Momentum Circle pledge an annual contribution, providing Meals on Wheels America with the infrastructure, innovative research, programming and critical resources necessary to support the Meals on Wheels network.
"The senior community is a vulnerable population and too many of them experience isolation and hunger," said David Peskin, President of RMF. "RMF shares Meals on Wheels' commitment to the local communities it serves. Our local loan specialists are active community leaders and volunteers who strive to maintain long-term relationships. RMF is proud to stand with Meals on Wheels America to provide seniors across the country with nutritious meals, human connections and most of all, a sense of community."
Homebound seniors are at serious risk to food, housing and financial insecurity post-pandemic. As of November 2020, nearly 9 out of 10 (86%) local Meals on Wheels programs report there are still unmet needs in their communities. And even more troubling, 62% can't sustain their current clients without increased financial support.
"Even before COVID-19 emerged as a worldwide threat, nearly 10 million seniors in America struggled with hunger, 8 million lived in isolation and more than 7 million had incomes below the poverty line," said Kristine Templin, Chief Development Officer at Meals on Wheels America. "Now is not the time to lose momentum, so we are extremely grateful to Reverse Mortgage Funding for its commitment to help us ensure our senior neighbors are always safe, cared for and never feel alone."
